A Note from Special Services
The Importance of Consistent Routines
Children with disabilities often benefit from consistent routines, both at home and at school. A structured routine helps them feel more secure and understand what to expect throughout the day. Parents can create routines by setting regular times for activities like homework, meals, and bedtime. Using visual schedules or timers can help reinforce these routines and reduce anxiety.
